You are a respondent. You have the right to state your side of this matter before the Judge. To do so, you must be in Court when the application is heard as shown below: Date: July 15, 2021 Time: 10:00 a.m. Where: The Calgary Courts Centre (Via WebEx Conference) Before Whom: The Honourable Madam Justice Horner Go to the end of this document to see what else you can do and when you must do it. REMEDY CLAIMED OR SOUGHT: 1. The Applicant, KSV Restructuring Inc. (“KSV”), in its capacity as the Court-appointed receiver and manager (the “Receiver”) of Tradesmen Enterprises Limited Partnership and Tradesmen Enterprises Inc. (together, “Tradesmen”) seeks an order (the “Interim Distribution Order”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule “B”: (a) if necessary, abridging the time for service of this Application and deeming service of this Application, together with all supporting materials, to be good and sufficient; (b) approving and ratifying the activities of the Receiver, as described in the First Report of the Receiver dated July 5, 2021 (the “First Report”); (c) authorizing and directing the Receiver to make an interim distribution of the Net Proceeds (as defined below) to Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) in partial satisfaction of the BMO Pre-Filing Indebtedness (as defined in the First Report); (d) approving an increase to the Receiver’s borrowings and Receiver’s Borrowings Charge (as defined below); and (e) approving the fees and disbursements of the Receiver and its counsel, as set out in the First Report. 2. Such further and other relief as this Honourable Court may deem just. GROUNDS FOR MAKING THIS APPLICATION: Background 3. On April 15, 2021, BMO sought and obtained an order (the “Receivership Order”) appointing KSV as Receiver of all of Tradesmen’s current and future assets, undertakings and property, including all proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Property”). 4. Among other things, the Receivership Order: (a) authorized the Receiver to take possession of and exercise control over the Property and any and all proceeds, receipts and disbursements arising out of or from the Property; (b) authorized and directed Ritchie Bros Auctioneers (Canada) Ltd. (the “Liquidator”) to continue to perform its services under a Liquidation Services Agreement dated March 3, 2021 between the Liquidator and Tradesmen (the “LSA”); (c) declared that any proceeds (the “Net Proceeds”) arising from the transactions contemplated by the LSA that would be payable to Tradesmen be paid to the Receiver; (d) authorized the Receiver to borrow such other monies up to $2,500,000 as it deems necessary or desirable to fund these proceedings (the “Receivership Proceedings”) pursuant to receiver’s certificates (the “Receiver’s Certificates”); and (e) granted a charge up to $2,500,000 on the Property as security for the Receiver’s borrowings under the Receiver’s Certificates (the “Receiver’s Borrowings Charge”). Interim Distribution 5. Since the granting of the Receivership Order, the transactions contemplated by the LSA have been completed and the Net Proceeds have been paid to the Receiver. 6. To reduce Tradesmen’s interest obligations and facilitate the efficient and timely administration of its estate, the Receiver is now seeking authorization to distribute the Net Proceeds in partial satisfaction of the BMO Pre-Filing Indebtedness. 7. The Receiver has obtained a security opinion from its counsel on BMO’s security in respect of the BMO Pre-Filing Indebtedness. The security opinion confirms the validity and enforceability of BMO’s security subject to the standard qualifications and assumptions contained therein. 8. Subject to certain Court-ordered charges, BMO has the senior ranking interest in the Net Proceeds. Solely for the purposes of the proposed Interim Distribution Order, BMO has waived its right to repayment of the Net Proceeds in its capacity as the Interim Lender (as defined in the First Report) and the beneficiary of the Receiver’s Borrowings Charge. 9. The proposed interim distribution to BMO in respect of the BMO Pre-Filing Indebtedness will avoid the unfair consequences that would result from directing the Net Proceeds to the partial repayment of the Receiver’s Certificates, the Interim Financing Agreement (as defined in the First Report) or to otherwise fund the costs of the Receivership Proceedings. In each case, the Net Proceeds, which are not impressed with a trust, would be dissipated to fund the Litigation (as defined below) for which the ultimate recovery is expected to be subject to numerous trust claims. Increasing the Receiver’s Borrowings 10. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Receiver is expressly authorized to seek an increase to its borrowings and a corresponding increase to the Receiver’s Borrowings Charge. 11. The proposed increase in the Receiver’s borrowings is necessary to enable the Receiver to fund the Receivership Proceedings and maximize stakeholder recovery. 12. BMO is supportive of the proposed increase to the Receiver’s borrowings and the Receiver’s Borrowings Charge. Approving the Activities of the Receiver and the Fees and Disbursements of the Receiver and its Counsel 13. Since the granting of the Receivership Order, the Receiver, with the assistance of its counsel, has acted in good faith and with due diligence to, among other things, advance the Receivership Proceedings, oversee the transactions contemplated by the LSA, and attend to matters in Tradesmen’s ongoing litigation against Teck Coal Limited, Fluor Canada Ltd., Canadian Pacific Limited, the Province of British Columbia and FortisBC Energy (the “Litigation”). 14. Pursuant to the proposed Interim Distribution Order, the Receiver is seeking approval of its activities, as described in the First Report. Further, the Receiver is seeking approval of its fees and disbursements as well as the fees and disbursements of its insolvency and litigation counsel, Bennett Jones LLP and Lawson Lundell LLP, respectively. 15. The proposed fee and activity approval is appropriate in the circumstances. 16. Such further and other grounds as counsel may advise and this Honourable Court may permit. MATERIAL OR EVIDENCE TO BE RELIED ON: 17. This Notice of Application, filed. 18. The First Report, filed. 19. The Affidavit of Service, filed. 20. The Receivership Order. 21. Such other materials or evidence as counsel may advise and this Honourable Court may permit. APPLICABLE RULES: 22. Bankruptcy and Insolvency General Rules, C.R.C. 1978, c. 368. 23. Alberta Rules of Court, Alta Reg 124/2010. APPLICABLE ACTS AND REGULATIONS: 24. Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. B-3. 25. Judicature Act, R.S.A. 2000, c J-2. ANY IRREGULARITY COMPLAINED OF OR OBJECTION RELIED ON: 26. None. HOW THE APPLICATION IS PROPOSED TO BE HEARD OR CONSIDERED: 27.

I definitely get the process a lot more as well as how the people within the government work and their effect on local citizens.” ~ Grade 5 student Students find hidden murals in Chinatown Exploring the city This year at City Hall School, students have explored downtown from St. Patrick’s Island on the east side to the Beltline murals on the west side. They have investigated community while looking at “Bridge” by Katie Green. Students visualized in the +15 Soundscape at Arts Commons. They have observed old buildings on Stephen Avenue, building construction of Platform Calgary, and how people used the upgraded underpasses. Each class came to City Hall School with a big idea that could be questions or thoughtful quotes. Two years ago, Journalling in the new Central Library there was a focus on public art and last year, classes were interested in sustainability and the natural world. This year, the main themes were being an active and responsible citizen as well as how to think in an innovative way. This year ended with an unexpected change. Due to the pandemic, all schools were closed in the middle of March. This led to many classes missing their chance to come to City Hall School. Fortunately, these classes are able to come during the 2020-2021 school year. How does City Hall School work? City Hall School is a five-day field study that is jointly run by The City of Calgary’s Calgary Neighbourhoods business unit and Campus Calgary/Open Minds.

Again, for the record, we are solicitors for Teck Resources Limited and its affiliates Teck Coal Limited and Teck Metals Limited (collectively, “Teck”) in connection with the Consultation. We have appended a further report of Dr. Lawrence I. Gould, Ph.D., Professor of Finance and Senior Scholar at the Asper Business School, University of Manitoba, together with letters from Teck, the Western Grain Elevator Association and the Canadian Canola Growers Association. As we understand it, the Agency places a high degree of reliance on the financial statements provided by CN and CP, as well as on their submissions with respect to capital structure, as demonstrated by the language of Appendix A of Agency Decision 425-R-2011. In particular, CN’s and CP’s capital structure to finance net rail investment seems to us to rely too heavily on decisions by CN and CP both as to the proportions and the amounts of debt and equity.

  • Canadian Pacific at the Glenbow: a Hundred Years of the CPR in Western Canada
    Canadian Pacific at the Glenbow: A Hundred Years of the CPR in Western Canada by GLENN T. WRIGHT All aboard! Two hundred and fifty historians, archivists, curators, and rail fans heard the traditional call of the railway porter and gathered at the Glenbow Museum last September to commemorate one hundred years of the Canadian Pacific Railway in Western Canada. Sponsored by the Glenbow-Alberta Institute with assistance from the National Museums Corporation and Canadian Pacific Limited. the festivities consisted of three major elements. In August the celebration began with the opening of the "Great CPR Exposition," a large exhibition that takes a comprehensive look at the construction, arrival and impact of the CPR on the Canadian West. During the month of September, the CPR West Conference attracted a good number of professionals and non-professionals and demonstrated that research on various aspects of CPR history is alive and well. To complement both the exhibition and the conference, Glenbow also sponsored the publication of a souvenir book, Trailoflron: The CPR andthe Birth qfthr West by William McKee and Georgeen Klassen. The centrepiece of Glenbow's tribute to the CPR is the6'Great CPR Exposition," the largest and most ambitious exhibition ever mounted by the Museum. Glenbow staff spent over two years collecting materials and conducting original research, and the result is impressive. The exhibition is an attempt to portray the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway and its impact on the social and economic development of Western Canada from the time of its inception and construction to the 1930s. Historical records have been drawn from virtually every media that one would find in an archives or museum.
